timing belt problems please help

Hello, I have a 1996 2.3L ranger and I did a timing belt replacement and now it is running very poorly. The truck starts up fine and idles decent, but has little throttle response and almost no power. I rechecked the timing belt today and all 3 marks are perfectly in line, the triangles up top, the diamonds on the oil pump pulley, and the key is straight up on the crank. The previous timing belt was not broken it was just old and the truck ran fine before, so when I replaced it I just put the new one in how the old one was lined up. Please help I'm out of ideas.
